10 Most Believable Underdogs In Wrestling Today
2. Jungle Boy
When the Young Bucks became EVPs of All Elite Wrestling, they made a proclamation that they would re-emphasize, re-energize, and re-legitimize tag team wrestling in North America. Boasting excellent teams like The Lucha Bros, Private Party, Proud and Powerful, the Best Friends, the Dark Order, SCU, and the Young Bucks themselves, it's hard to argue that they haven't achieved their goal.
However, one standout trio within the division is The Jurassic Express. Important to the group’s diversity, each member has a distinct role to play. While Marko Stunt has the heart of a lion, he is at times difficult to buy as a viable competitor against larger opponents. Luchasaurus is awesome as the heavy of the group, but may find himself hampered by his gimmick. Jungle Boy (Jack Perry if you're JR) is a totally different story.
Jungle Boy has great credentials, working for the likes of PWG and All Pro Wrestling before joining with AEW. Blessed with an athletic move set, movie star good looks, and an inherent fire that makes him easy to root for, Jungle Boy went ten minutes in the ring with then-AEW World Champion Chris Jericho on a December episode of AEW Dynamite, proving to the world that he could contend with the best.
Of the three members of the Jurassic Express, he absolutely has the best chance of becoming a breakout star, and has the perfect mix of intensity, grappling skills, and inherent likability to make him a major player.
